"I'm really pleased with where we are going and what we are working on," head coach
Nick Zieziula said. "St. Bona always fights hard in their building and today was no exception. It was great to see Alex (Pena) building confidence on court. His game is clicking in. Our doubles has to keep getting better ... there is definitely a lot to improve on there. But we are looking forward to hosting Temple ... that will be a great test to see where we are leading into the MAC season."
